This temple was dedicated to Amun Ra, King of Gods and his wife Mut (Goddess of War). It is built parallel to the River Nile. At Luxor, you will find Colossal Statues of Rameses and large 24-meter tall carved pylons. One of the two Obelisks that once stood at the entrance of Luxor Temple remains, the other was removed and transported to France in 1874 and now sits at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Another site worth mentioning is the Mosque of Abu El Hagag which was built on top of the buried ruins of Luxor Temple; after the Temple was uncovered the Mosque was preserved and is still a place of worship until today.

Karnak Temple: Located on the East bank this is the largest temple complex in Egypt. Built over a period of 1300 years to honor the god Amun of Thebes, his wife Mut, and Sons Khons. An impressive complex of over 25 Temples full of Sanctuaries, big columns, and Obelisks. At least thirty Pharaohs have been represented here over a period. One of the highlights is the Hypostyle Hall with 134 enormous pillars, certainly an awe-inspiring place.

The High Dam: Bordering Egypt and Sudan, this is the world's largest dam, its construction finished in 1970. It changed the life of Egyptian people by providing flood protection, irrigation, and electricity to Egypt. Construction of the dam required the enormous task of relocating many ancient monuments along the banks of the Nile. A project that was only possible by using very advanced engineering and the cooperation of many Countries.

Granite Quarries with Unfinished Obelisk: Most of the red granite used to build Egypt's Temples and Tombs came from these quarries. Here lies the Unfinished Obelisk still attached to the bedrock. Abandoned when a crack appeared while working on it. Its weight is calculated at 110 tons and would have been the world's largest piece of solid stone ever carved.

Temple of Philae: On the island of Agilkia, lies the beautiful temple of Philae, dating from 380 BC. Erected to honor the goddess Isis, it was moved from its original location in 1960, relocated from the holy island of Philae in the middle of Lake Nasser. Many of the buildings and monuments were painstakingly moved from Philae, as it was continually flooded and eventually submerged in Lake Nasser.

My wife & I returned Oct. 27, from Egypt, on the Travel Discounts Tour Co. (out of Toronto, ON, CAN).

The tour was incredibly jam-packed with everything I wanted to see and a really good value!

The tour was incredibly jam-packed with everything I wanted to see and a really good value. The airport handler, the driver and the hotel greeter/tour leader absolutely made my arrival restful. The hotel and the poolside grill were beautiful and relaxing. My husband thought the camel ride at the Pyramids was the most fun.

The first 2 days with Sahar taking our small group of 8 thru Cairo, Giza and Sakkara was amazing, as were the lunches and tea we had with her....
